Iran calls on its youth to form human chains around power plants after Trump warns of ‘complete demolition’

Iran called on its youth Tuesday to form human chains around its power plants – after President Trump threatened to decimate the Islamic Republic’s energy infrastructure if it fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Power plants that are our national assets and capital, regardless of any taste or political viewpoint, belong to the future of Iran and to the Iranian youth,” Alireza Rahimi, secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, said in a video aired on state TV.

Government officials have called on students, artists, and athletes to form the human shields from 2 p.m. local time.

“We hope that with the participation of young people across the country, this human chain will be formed around the power plants, and it will be a sign of the youth’s commitment to protecting the country’s infrastructure and building a bright future,” Rahimi said.

The bloodthirsty regime is already accused of recruiting children as young as 12 in a drive dubbed “Homeland Defending Combatants for Iran.”

Amnesty International said it had confirmed photos showing children wielding weapons such as AK-pattern assault rifles and standing alongside Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military personnel at checkpoints and during rallies.

The desperate calls come after Trump promised to obliterate Tehran’s energy infrastructure if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reached by 8 p.m.

“We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again,” he told reporters Monday.

They want their youth to die with their power plants?

For brainwashed Muzz Twelvers only. No Ayatollahs or IRGC children/yoofs will be sent out to guard Iran power plants. Just about all are natural gas powered. The easiest to build / re-build.

Who speaks for Iran at this point - and what percent of its youth is likely to respond?

I’m assuming college campuses and such - but are things so normal in Iran that the regime can activate its youth - and not at gunpoint?

I have a better suggestion: surround bridges and power plants with members of the Rev. Guard and their ranking officers.

How about hitting the unguarded sub stations? Same effect, no electricity with no civilian casualties……

They’re not human. They’re the future generation on deck to murder our Western children.

America moves heaven and earth to rescue ones of our adults. Muslims deliberately throw their kids into harm’s way with certain death in store for them.

I don’t know how many times it has to be said.... The iranian regime does not care about its people. In fact the more people that get killed the better. A smaller population is easier to control.

Iranian youth hate the thieving Ayatollahs - fake holy men for a fake prophet all of them. On the plus side I never hear claims of inbreeding from Iran.

From photos I see the young women dressing as stylishly as they can, given the constraints.

This the elegance of small diameter bombs/munitions.

Precise aim.
Variable ‘designer’ warheads.
Specific components wrecked.
Exterior of the building still stands.

... and no power.

KGB tactic.

Straight from Saddam’s playbook.

Didn’t work then either. But they’re following their master’s plan. That’s all that matters.

Has a sort of King Harod vibe.
